In China it's much more common to take antibiotica for minor reasons. Also big (area wise) skin wounds can get infected even if they are not bleeding.

- Diederich 7y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong: I think that a wound that is bleeding is a wound that's, at least in part, being protected from infection by 'internal positive pressure'. My grandpa taught me that; to let wounds bleed freely for a while, if possible, to reduce the chance of infection. I wonder how valid that is.
- Double_a_92 7y agoSounds plausible. At the very least it's a mechanical cleaning. Small pieces of dirt get washed away by the liquid blood.
